2,100 children will wake up homeless at Christmas

Shelter analysis of government statistics reveals that over 2,100 children will wake up homeless this Christmas day in the South West. And worryingly, with councils feeling the pressure of our affordable housing shortage, the number of families across Britain living in B&Bs – accommodation which is often cramped and unsafe for children – has more than trebled over the last five years. Shelter is calling on the public for urgent support this Christmas, as its advisers struggle to cope with demand for help from the growing number of families battling to keep a roof over their heads.

Exeter Corn Exchange, Exeter

Eddi Reader was brought into the limelight with Fairground Attraction and their single 'Perfect' and parent album First of a Million Kisses which both topped the British charts.

A rollercoaster ride through the mind-boggling mysteries of everyday life…

The end result was The Uncarved Block – Part One which showcases his masterful guitar-playing and the raw, confessionary depth of his lyrics and voice...
